Ugh this book had me reading past my bedtime in tears. I'm only sorry I waited so long to read it.

Just... It was wonderful in a way that not many classics are. Celia, Shug, and Nettie will live in my heart for a long time. I think this may have instantly skyrocketed to my list of favorite books.

Fantastic! An absorbing story. Read it in one day and could start re-reading again right this minute.
